On the surface, it is a timed survival game where players must keep their character fed, watered and sane until rescue by the military shortly after the infection of the city by the transformation nanites. There are an array of creatures, events, NPCs and quests (both mini-quests and major undertakings) to explore and experience. Many of the creatures of the city will attempt to infect the player (often through sexual contact) resulting in body transformations. The game has numerous 'endings' based on how the player is infected at the end of the game, whether they survived or succumbed to the infection, and which NPCs have been encountered and saved. Players new to the game should read the [[Overall Gameplay]] article, which contains no spoilers and explains the core concepts of the game. '''Note:''' Flexible Survival is, ultimately, a game of exploration. It is intended that players discover content on their own, with the idea that they will gain the most enjoyment from the game in this way. The articles listed in the table below generally contain spoilers for the game in one fashion or another. New and less experienced players are warned that viewing these articles may affect your ultimate enjoyment of the game (if even in only a small way). Proceed at your own discretion. Listed below are a number of articles which contain the details of the game, laid bare for all to see. It is a reference for veteran players and a source newer players may consult to find solutions and answers that are not readily apparent to them through the course of the game. ===Inform Version=== Below are references to the older version of the single-player game made in Inform[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inform]. It currently has much more content than the Godot version and is still receiving updates as of 3/7/2023. ====Gameplay-Centric Information==== {| width="100%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" border="1" class="wikitable" style="background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);" |- | [[Commands]] | [[Items (Single Player)|Items]] | [[Feats]] | [[NPCs (Single Player)|NPCs]] | [[Pets|Pets/Allies]] |- | [[:Category:Locations (Single Player)|Locations]] | [[:Category:Hunting_Areas|Hunting Areas]] | [[Monsters_(SP)|Enemies]] | [[infections|Infections]] | [[Quests (Single Player)|Quests]] |- | [[Maps (SP)]] | [[Grey Abbey Library]] |- |} ====Game Mechanics==== {|width="100%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" border="1" class="wikitable" style="background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);" |- | [[:Category:Heat|Heat]] | [[Save_Words|Save Words "Void"]] | [[Coding Additions]] | [[Bound States]] |- |} ===Godot Version=== Due to limitations with the Inform 7 engine, it was decided to port the single-player game into Godot 4[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godot_(game_engine)]. This version of the game is still under development but is planned to include many quality-of-life features and improvements that were difficult or impossible in Inform 7. Much is the same as what is in the Inform version, but below are listed changes and added features to the Godot version of the game. ====Current State==== As of 3/7/2023, The Godot's user interface is almost finished. Text to speech has been added, though not fully supported. Many systems and game mechanics have been programmed in, but content utilizing them are not present. Most locations are present, and exploration is possible, but much of the functionality specific to such locations are not added. Despite this, some new features can be seen, such as the new [[Camp|player Camp]] mechanic and the [[Godot User Interface|new inventory system]]. ====New features==== * [[Godot User Interface|New User Interface]] * [[Godot User Interface|A new inventory system]] * [[Godot User Interface|A customizable text to speech system]] * [[Godot User Interface|Additional Hotkeys]] * [[Camp|A player Camp]] * [[Tutorial (Godot Version)| A new tutorial]] * [[Combat (Godot Version)|An improved combat system]] * [[Body Parts (Godot Version)| An expanded body parts system]] ====Supported Platforms==== Thanks to features of the Godot 4 engine, it is possible for the game to support multiple platforms. Current plans as of 3/7/2023 are to support PC, browser, Mac OS, and Android. However, due to limitations of the development process it may take time for Mobile platforms to receive a dedicated UI layout. Also, the Inform 7 version of the game was forced to drop support for web browsers due to size and performance constraints, and it is unclear how well Godot's implementation will handle this issue as the game scales in size. However, continued support is planned until limitations become apparent. ==Flexible Infection: Wave of changes== The spiritual ancestor of the single-player version of the game can be found at [https://blog.flexiblesurvival.com/ Nuku's blog] and is a text-based game within a map filled with connected rooms. NOTE: These items still need to be filled. This is just a template to build from. Many also contain spoilers for game content. {| width="75%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" border="1" class="wikitable" style="background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238);" |- | [[List of monsters]] | [[Actions/commands]] | [[Map]] |} gtrg7obg8h6zdwnbw7bb0bm2ujoek5w
